But now is not the time. Chen Hao temporarily put away the doubts in his heart and said: "Thank you, Elder Miao, for clarifying my doubts. I thought this was a magic spell, but in any case, I showed the evidence, which can reasonably explain the reason why our four factions are late."
.”
Miao Shulin's old face was gloomy.
He originally wanted to rectify the four factions, so he deliberately made things difficult for him by being late. Unexpectedly, one of the four factions, Chen Hao, who had a rare materialized talent, actually produced conclusive evidence and blocked his mouth.
I felt very unhappy.
"How do I know whether the image you have manifested is true or false? Maybe you made it up out of thin air and deliberately made it up?"
Miao Shulin said coldly.
Chen Hao thought to himself that you really guessed it right. With my ability to manifest, I can indeed make things up out of nothing, but I can't tell you that.
"Elder Miao, do you have evidence to prove that I made it up?"
He asked indifferently.
Miao Shulin said unreasonably: "I have no evidence, but can you prove that you are not making it up?"
Chen Hao was too lazy to talk to him and said, "Since Elder Miao can't tell, let's go find the Hall Master to identify it?
The hall master is a monk in the Void Refining Stage, so he will definitely be able to tell whether the images I manifested are true or false."
Miao Shulin's face darkened.
If you go to the hall master, you must explain the whole story clearly. When the hall master hears it, you will know that he is deliberately making things difficult. Isn't that asking for trouble?
How dare this boy named Chen dig a hole for him?
"You can do it, Chen Hao."
Miao Shulin sneered: "Since you are so confident, I'll just trust you once and forget about being late."
When everyone from the three sects heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chen Hao with gratitude.
If it weren't for Chen Hao's innate ability, I'm afraid they would have suffered a disaster today.
Being late without a reasonable explanation will definitely lead to military prosecution.
Being engaged in military law does not mean cutting off their heads, but they will definitely be sent to the most dangerous places. In the tide of monsters, whether they can survive depends on luck.
Chen Hao did not relax. He had offended Miao Shulin just now, and there was no way Miao Shulin could just let it go.
Sure enough, Miao Shulin said again: "But I want to ask you, for the fourth generation sect, the alliance requirement is that there must be two Yuanying monks, ten golden elixirs, and sixty foundations. Why is it that you are the only one in the Dengli sect?
Come alone, where are the others?
Please explain it to me."
Yu Houshui quickly explained: "Elder Miao, it's like this. After the alliance recruitment, our four factions... no, three factions discussed and made an adjustment, and decided the proportion of candidates through competition among disciples.
After the competition, the Dengli sect ranked first among our four sects, so only Daoyou Chen was the only one. As for the other places, we, Lingxiao, Kuangsha and Canghai, shared the quota equally, so the total number of people is not bad."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but blush.
This matter is very disgraceful to say. At that time, he, Lei Tieyin, and Wan Hongfei joined forces to intimidate the Dengli sect, but were disgraced by Chen Hao, and finally suffered the consequences themselves.
"Yes, Elder Miao, except for the fact that we encountered the Blood Phantom halfway and lost a few foundation-building disciples, everyone else is here. You can have someone check the number of people."
Lei Tieyin and Wan Hongfei echoed.
However, Miao Shulin's expression was cold and he scolded: "The alliance has a fixed recruitment quota for each cultivation sect. During the demon tide, this is a military order. What qualifications do you have to make changes on your own initiative?
Are you taking the alliance seriously by doing this?"
Yu Houshui said quickly: "We reported this matter to Elder Fang at that time, and Elder Fang agreed."
Miao Shulin said: "Fang Ziqiang agrees, do I agree?"
Yu Houshui said: "Elder Fang was in charge of us at that time, and you haven't taken over yet."
Miao Shulin said: "But I have taken over now, and I don't know about this matter. Fang Ziqiang didn't tell me, and the alliance didn't register it. I only know that you made your own decisions and violated the alliance's recruitment order. What should you do?
?”
Everyone was furious, thinking that Teacher Fang Chang died in a demon attack. They had no idea that you would take over. How could I tell you?
Isn't this deliberately looking for trouble?
Yu Houshui held back his anger and said: "Elder Miao, we really didn't know that Elder Fang would suddenly fall, so we thought we could just tell him.
Moreover, the total quota of our four factions is sufficient, and it will not bring any adverse impact to you. Please be kind and generous... let us go."
With that said, he bowed to Miao Shulin and saluted.
"Elder Miao, you have a lot of it, so don't worry about it with us."
"We promise to obey your orders and will never violate them."
When Lei Tieyin and Wan Hongfei saw this, they also said with a smile and saluted together.
"You don't need to tell me this, it's meaningless."
Miao Shulin said indifferently: "I don't care what you and Fang Ziqiang said, or how Fang Ziqiang agreed to you. Anyway, I don't know, and no superior has told me that you four factions can change the deployment ratio privately.
I only know that I will follow the rules of the league. If you violate the rules, you will be punished. You can't just say a few nice words to me and bow a few times, so I can be lenient. How can I appear to be open, fair and just?
You think so?"
Everyone from the three factions looked ugly.
This old guy is obviously trying to make things difficult, but he talks about being open and fair, whitewashing himself, and being so incompetent that he wants to be punched in the nose.
Yu Houshui sighed, knowing full well that Miao Shulin was determined to rectify the four factions. Even if they didn't have this excuse, they would definitely find other excuses. No matter how they begged for mercy, it would be useless.
Now in the alliance, the official level is crushing people to death. It is impossible to resist. There is no other way but to endure.
I really didn’t expect that this expedition would be so unsatisfactory. First, we encountered the Blood Phantom and almost wiped out the entire team. Then, after finally reaching the front line, our close elder suddenly died and we were replaced by a villainous boss.
This is not a good sign.
Yu Houshui couldn't help but feel a shadow cast in his heart.
He was about to speak when suddenly, Chen Hao said: "Elder Miao, no matter what, the three factions, Ling Xiao, Kuangsha and Canghai, came with sufficient numbers, and there were many more people than the alliance recruited. This is a violation of the alliance.
Absolute support means resolutely defending the interests of the southern border and should be praised. How can you punish others for this?
Doesn’t this chill our dedication to the alliance, and what will other cultivation sects think when they see it?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Miao Shulin stared at Chen Hao: "Are you trying to tell me the truth?"
Chen Haodao: "Am I wrong?
Although Ling Xiao, Kuang Sha and Cang Hai violated the recruitment rules, what was the final result? They brought more disciples to support the front line. Isn't this a good thing?
Why punish people?
Elder Miao, it is right to stick to principles, but you should also have some flexibility according to the actual situation, instead of just blindly obeying them."
